The big event In Denver draws closer bringing together those bastards who we're told are on our side. It's also going to bring many who want to call out these fuckers or is it closet repugs as it is hard to tell what the hell they are exactly. For sure many are pissed off for what they have done or not done.
You have these coming.
Tens of thousands of activists are expected, both homegrown and imported. Some plan to drive FEMA trailers up from Mississippi for a media-savvy statement about continuing Hurricane Katrina struggles. That means practice needs to start.
Maneuvers over downtown were coordinated by the U.S. Department of Justice, but authorities would not release details of the training.
There may be trouble with people wanting to express there views against those who enabled this administration to fuck the living shit out of us and our rights. Can't be having a bunch of that shit going on so maybe it will be time to roll out the old ray gun because it has to be used on Americans first before we use it on people in other country's you see.
But that ain't the fucking half of it folks. Just today
Arapahoe County commissioners passed by a 3-2 vote today a measure to outlaw use of thick sticks, gas masks, and other normally legal items at protests.
If it's legal you can't bring it and they decide what. Why the fuck can't you bring a gas mask to protect yourself when the gas starts flying and you are exercising your constitutional right to protest those who do not represent you but do the corporations?
I have a feeling this is not going to be pretty and chances are good there will be the usual brown shirt repugs in the crowd provoking confrontation to make our side look bad to be vilified by the media. Even a pecker head outta the cornfield can see this coming.
Forgot to add the convention is in Denver County but seems they're pretty worried ten miles south.
Is this going to be a repeat of 1968?
ReplyDeleteIt's such a huge contrast - between the beauty of today's photo and the potential obscenity you write about in your post. Looks like the stage is being set not to prevent trouble, conflict, and violence, but to insure it.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me to be a no-brainer that state, county, and municipal governments along with their law enforcement agencies would make every effort to accommodate protest in ways to keep it peaceful rather than otherwise.
I think it's a case of monkey-see, monkey-do. The feds, led by the decider and gang have had such great success in shoving crap down our throats for so long (and gloating about it) that local wanna-be's just imitate that Nazi mind set. Too,it is decision by committee which still holds the record for mistakes.
I can only hope the democratic members of congress, senators, and party leadership get the message that their action and inaction has been less than satisfactory.
And the photo is lovely. . .
Maybe Lib. There's a lot of unhappy campers and since these rwingers stop at nothing it's to their advantage to start shit to make the left look bad and dangerous. The hub of that is 80 miles south in the Springs. There have been other articles as well about preperations being made. I will say there are a bunch on our side in Colorado Springs that are real fighters.
ReplyDeleteI agree Jeg but whether they get the message or not I'm inclined to say no because up to this time they haven't even answered the knock on the door.
That is a cool picture but it is not mine but a friends. Most are though and the one tommorrow may be from Nepal taken by another friend. The blue flowers (centarus) is my favorite color and they're not quite in bloom on the golf course. What I want to know are the columbines the same color as the ones you see in Iowa. Before you told me where you saw them I had said to to myself I bet they're up in NE Iowa.
Giv'em hell guys!
The native columbines in Iowa are creme and red. I'll send some seeds if you'll email a snail mail address.
ReplyDeleteYour train pic would make a great post card!
I have friends going. . .likely we all do. Let's hope for the best!
ReplyDeleteAgreed
